HADAF signs deal to support Saudis in hospitality and culinary arts fields
The agreement was signed by HADAF Director General Turki Al-Jawini and Executive Director of People and Culture at Boutique Hospitality Group Dania Al-Obaid.
The agreement is an extension of the existing strategic cooperation between PIF and the Ministry of Tourism. The PIF has previously launched several training programs in cooperation with prestigious educational institutions, such as the Higher Institute of Tourism and Hospitality, with the aim of enabling the private sector to benefit from the Fund's programs and capabilities.
This will contribute to raising the efficiency of Saudis and enhancing the sector's competitiveness in the required specializations in the hospitality and culinary arts fields, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to develop human capital and localize quality jobs.
The agreement affirms the commitment to implementing the programs by contributing to supporting training costs outside the Kingdom and providing rewards to trainees in accordance with approved mechanisms. It also includes forming a working group comprised of both parties to monitor the implementation of its provisions and hold periodic meetings based on developments and business needs.

In an official statement on its website, the SCA named three companies on July 17 — Sigma one capital, Sigma — wealth world financial, Sigma One Cap Marketing Services. "The SCA advises the investing public to refrain from dealing with these companies, as they are not licensed to conduct financial activities or provide services regulated by the SCA. Investors are strongly encouraged to verify the licensing status of any entity before engaging in any financial transactions. The SCA bears no responsibility for any transactions or dealings conducted with unlicensed companies," it said in the statement. The advisory was issued on the basis of the regulatory role of the SCA to ensure sound transactions and protect investors in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Law No. (4) Of 2000 concerning the Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority and Market and the regulations issued thereunder, and pursuant to the Chairman of the SCA Board of Directors' Decision No. (9/R.M) of 2017 concerning the Controls for Publishing Warnings.

Globalia expands UAE presence with strategic airline and hospitality partnerships
Spain's largest tourism group, Globalia, is expanding its presence in the United Arab Emirates through a combination of aviation and hospitality initiatives designed to strengthen connectivity and support regional tourism growth. Last month, Globalia announced the launch of a new direct route between Madrid and Abu Dhabi, operated by its flagship carrier Air Europa, in collaboration with Etihad Airways. The inaugural flight marks Air Europa's first operation in the Middle East and signals a deeper engagement with the UAE's fast-evolving tourism and transportation sectors. This new route, operated via a wet-lease agreement, is part of a broader strategy to enhance global connectivity between Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. With increased frequencies and shared loyalty programmes, the partnership improves access for business and leisure travelers while reinforcing Abu Dhabi's positioning as a global aviation hub. Globalia's ambitions in the region extend beyond the skies. The company is bringing to the UAE a European tourism model grounded in operational excellence, technological innovation, and cultural integration. Drawing on decades of leadership in Spain and Latin America, Globalia is adapting its ecosystem to suit the opportunities and demands of Gulf markets. As part of this broader vision, Globalia's hospitality arm, Be Live Hotels, is actively exploring expansion opportunities in the UAE and across the Gulf region. The brand is known for aligning high-quality guest experiences with strong environmental and social responsibility standards, already recognised in the Caribbean and Europe. 'Sustainability is not a trend - it's the only way to guarantee the future of tourism,' said Javier Hidalgo, former CEO of Globalia and one of the early advocates of long-term value-driven tourism. The group's expansion strategy emphasises soft power, local partnerships, and tourism that respects both the environment and the cultural context of its host destinations. These evaluations come as the UAE continues to position itself as a hub for eco-conscious travel and high-quality hospitality experiences.
